Abstract – The study investigated the effect of Think-Solve-Group-Share (TSGS), differentiated strategy on motivation, attitude and performance among senior secondary students in bearing in Katsina State, Nigeria. The population for this study was 8,440 SSII students, out of which a sample of 180 senior secondary students was used for the study. A simple random sampling technique was used to arrive at the sub-group. Quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design, involving intact classes, was used. Simple random sampling method was, also, used to determine the experimental (N = 63) and control (N = 117) groups.

Abstract – This study examined the effects of Jigsaw IV Cooperative Learning Strategy (J4CLS) on Students’ Performance and Retention in Geometry among Secondary School Students in Zaria Metropolis. A pretest, Posttest and Post Posttest Quasi-experimental research design was used for the study. The experimental group was exposed to J4CLS while the control group was taught using Conventional Method of Teaching.

Abstract – The concept of differential calculus is used in many areas including applied problems in different disciplines. One of the most important approaches for derivative teaching is to motivate students in solving concepts independently. In the effort to improve students’ outcomes in differential calculus, mathematics educators have continued searching for variables that could be manipulated in favour of academic gains. Of all the variables, motivation seems to be leading other variables.

Abstract – The study investigated the variation in interest towards mathematics between students with pre-knowledge of instructional content and those without. A quasi-experimental research design that made use of pre-test post-test and control group was used. The population of the study consisted all SS1 Secondary School mathematics students. Twenty eight male and forty one female students were selected through two schools making a total of 69 students as Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and

Abstract – Multiplication concept is one of the pre-requisite skills needed for better understanding and development of mathematics skills. Students’ understanding, development of basic mathematical skills, and performance are affected by some factors, that include, attitude, instructional process, and materials used among others. The present research investigates the hearing-impaired students’ attitude toward using the Chinese stick method in learning multiplication in Sokoto state Nigeria.
Impact of Japanese Multiplication Technique on Academic Performance among Primary Five Pupils in Tureta, Sokoto State, Nigeria

Bello Shehu Aliyu
Abstract – The study investigated the impact of Japanese multiplication techniques on academic performance among primary five pupils in Tureta, Sokoto State, Nigeria. It employed quasi-experimental research design entailing pre-test and post-test. A simple random sampling technique through balloting method was used to select two schools out of fifty-six primary schools in Tureta. The two schools selected were assigned as experimental and control groups with a sample of 45 and 70 respectively.
